- the grafting yield of a grafted monomer is usually determined by IR-analysis of isolated rubber. Changes in the aromatic band at 1600 CM-1 compared to the ungrafted rubber band at 722 cm-1 are examined.
- the rubber is isolated from solution by multiple dissolvation/precipitation using cyclohexane as a solvent and acetone as precipitator. Then the rubber is dried in vacuum at 60° C. for 36 hours.
- an OCP is modified by grafting isocyanato ethyl methacrylate (IEM) and capping N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (NPPDA).
- the isocyanato ethylmethacrylate is grafted onto EPM containing around 0.3 mole % of ethylidene norbornene (extruded EPsyn 4106) in presence of free radical initiator, dicumyl peroxide.
- an OCP is modified by grafting m-isopropenyl-a,a-dimethyl-benzyl isocyanate (TMI) and capping N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (NPPDA).
- TMI m-isopropenyl-a,a-dimethyl-benzyl isocyanate
- NPPDA N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine
- EPM solution in mineral oil 12.5 wt % EPM solution in mineral oil is prepared. 100 wt parts of EPM which is used in the example 1, is added to 400 wt parts of SUN-148 and 300 wt parts of SNO-100. The mixture is heated to 155° C. with stirring and under nitrogen for 3 hours until the rubber is completely dissolved.
